Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

Industry Relations Podcast – ICYMI

Rob Hahn and I have been stepping up our podcast game this year. We have been pretty consistent uploading one episode a week since the first week of January. If you haven’t checked out our latest episodes you find them on your favorite podcast player.

I mentioned recently that we also launched a YouTube channel as well. Here are some of my favorites recently:

Marge vs. Brenda
Rob and I discuss how agents are still undefeated in the proptech wars.

When the asteroid hits
What will it take for CoStar (Homes.com and Homesnap) to win? Turns out it might be something catastrophic.

Wall Streets take on Online Real Estate with John Campbell
John Campbell is a super smart guy, with Stephens, a research company focused on covering real estate for Wall Street. Great discussion about why proptech/real estate stocks are down, and why he thinks the acquisitions of Homes.com and Homesnap are Andy Florance’s side bet against the MLS industry as we know it.

BIG FAVOR TO ASK:

We are trying to get our own branded YouTube channel, but we need 1,000 subscribers. So if you could go to our YouTube channel and hit the Subscribe button and click the bell it would really help! Tell your friends!

Hope you enjoy the conversations!

It’s 1967, your MLS system is calling…

Great find by Sara Bonert!

This is one of 3 videos in a series of getting the old Realtron system working. If you are reading this Travis I would love to interview you for my podcast.

Anyone watching the “Severance” on Apple TV will love this hardware design aesthetic.

But, this MLS Vendor video is still one of my favorites.

Industry Relations Episode 72: Marge vs. Brenda

Today Rob and Greg talk about Marge vs Brenda (don’t worry they’ll explain) How is the average real estate doing vs the top 10 percent? After things like the real estate stocks and the acceleration trends due to the pandemic, who is winning this epic battle? As they say the ‘internet is undefeated’ but is ‘Marge’ undefeated as well? Greg thinks she is, but what does the notorious Rob think? It’s a great discussion on this week’s episode of Industry Relations!

Texas chooses zipForm

Lone Wolf makes deal with largest Realtor association in Texas

The 145,000-member Texas Realtors has selected Lone Wolf Technologies‘ Transactions software as an option for the digital execution and management of home sales.

Lone Wolf said the organization will use the zipForms edition of its product, an alternative that stems from its 2019 acquisition of the popular e-forms company, zipLogix, according to a statement Wednesday.

The new member benefit is designed to assist agents in making transactions more efficient, a vital competitive need in light of how fast homes are being shown and put under contract. Mobile and online access to critical business forms are becoming standard practice in today’s market.

Huge win for Texas and Lone Wolf.
